Many conflicting opinions have
been voiced concerning the posi-
tion of the college student in the
present national emergency. Col-
onel William H. Draper. ,lr.
clarified some of the conflicting;
rumors in his talk, “The Selective
Service Act and the Collegc Stu;
dent.” delivered at the University
of Michigan.

Colonel Draper called this act

. America’s reply to Hitler‘s
unprovoked invasion of Lincoln
hourg, Belgium, and Holland, and
to the fall of France. Ninety
per-cent of our people. a recent
Gallup poll indicates, now favor
the Selective Service Act.” The
underlying principle of this law
was declared to he the democratic
procurement of manpower. rc-
gardless of the wealth, position or
occupation of the draftce. Con-
tinuing, he described the peaceful
registration of 17,000,000 young;
Americans for selective service in
every town and hamlet of this
great country. The resulting ex.
pansion has increased our army
five-fold and by July. the strength
of the army is expected to be
1,500,000.

He went on to say, “There are,
of course, many cases of medical
students. of certain engineering
students and of apprentices in de—
fense industries who are in train-
ing for special skills all of whom
are greatly needed today and to—
morrow. Certain of these should
be deferred from service in the
army or navy. Deferrment of such
technically trained students
should be passed only on the na
tional health, safety, and interest.”

He stressed the fact that the
first objective of this act must
-' be military training. Men will be
classified according to their vari-
ous skills and assigned to that
branch of the service for which
they are most fitted. The train
ing of the men will be progres-
sive, training being given first by
individuals, then units, battalions,

Are you interested in patent.
law? The A.I.Ch.E., on this com-
ing Friday, will present Mr. G.
L. Parkhurst, senior patent, at»
torney of the Standard Oil com-
pany (lndiana). He will discuss
patent law and its relation to
chemical engineering.

The field of patent law has op-
portunities for men qualified as
engineers who possess a fair
amount of forensic knowledge.
Many of the present day attorneys:
have entered the field of patent
law through an opening in the
United States Patent Office. it
has been said that patent law is
about 25% law, 50% engineering,
and 25% common sense.

Mr. Parkhurst will explain the
type of work done by a patent
lawyer, his role in industry and
the procedure followed in obtain-
ing a patent on a new or modified
proccss.

This meeting is open to all who
may be interested. The present
plan all Mr. Parkhurst’s talk will
allow for a discussion period after
his address.

lt’ir. Parkhurst is an Armour
man. Tau Beta Pi, Pi Lambda
Upsilon, and Alpha Chi Sigma.
Because of his vast experience
and his knowledge of the Armour
point of View, his talk should be
especially interesting.

“At prcscnt, employers are do-
lug‘éng ii’l‘ with calls for women
students in the cooperative pro-
gram, and the demand will likely
continue for many months,” Miss
.iudklns indicated. The plans
which business has made for the
national emergency period neces-
sitates; lbc infusion of new blood
into industry.

Employers understand that the
students are not casual adventur-
ers into the business; world, but
that the co-ops are committed to
the policy of working toward the
top in their respective companies.

Tuition Emily Mm,

The tuition is $240 a year, plus
a 5350 annual budget for fees,
books, papers and other school
equipment. The three six months
working periods easily provide
the means of securing this neces—
sary cash.

Only high school graduates and
individuals with high qualifica.
tions of scholarship and executive
aptitude are admitted to the co»
operative courses.

 

 

RE HAVAL APPLICRJ‘IONB.

Students who succeimfully pass thoir
medical examinations whom; draft
numbers are line, will be deterred upon re—
quest of the applicant to the Naval como
mandant who will serve notice to the loco.)
draft board. This deferment is good for
90 clays during which time application 'wxll
lm considered and passed upon. Those who
are accepted are. of course exempted from
the draft. !

 

Socialism downhill
edition “il‘ruccicsaon”

Last Friday morning at, 10:10
Roy Jacobson, president of the
WSE chapter, introduced Mr. Sam
Campbell to an eager audience.
Because Mr. Campbell had gained
wide popularity among the stu-
dents when he gave a lecture last,
year, the auditorium was even
crowded.

in a short 15 minute talk, Mr.
Campbell laid down the essential
axioms of his nature philosophy:

21) No animal can defy the laws
of nature, not even man.

bl No animal is truly ferocious;
it only becomes: ferocious through
aggravation when it is on defence.

c) No beast, kills for fun, but
only through necessity.

To illustrate these ideas, the
speaker showed some color mo-
tion pictures, describing how he
and his friend lived with the
animals at “Three Lakes" in the
prcservc of Wegimind.

A prize winning shot of the “Old
Faithful” geyser in the moonlight
ended the lecture.

Dr. W. C. Krathwohl gave a
talk on “Vocational Guidance and
Aptitude Testing," before the La
Grange’s Parcntl'l‘eachers’ Asst»
elation, Dr. Krathwohl presented
the need and the usefulness of
aptitude tests.

it is possible to give vocational
guidance to students as such that
they will obtain a greater degree
or success and happiness. Old
sayings, such as; “strong back but
weak of mind,” “beautiful but.
dumb,” have hindered many stun
dents from getting ahead in this
world and Dr. Krathwohl pointed
out the falsencss of such mythical
statements. Results of an army
lest show that the unskilled lab-
orers tested had a range of intel-
ligence that covered an entire
scale, disproving the “strong of
back, weak of mind” statement.
At the Teachers College, Columbia
University. a recent survey of
sororities revealed that there was
no relation between a girl’s at»
pearanco and hcr intelligence.

Work along these lines of voca-
tional guidance has been conduct—
ed along with the expansion of
Armour. Dr. Krathwohl is direc-
tor of the department of educa-
tional tests and measurements.

Manag’cmcnt nobility

 

An interesting discussion of him
dustrial personnel problems was
the feature of last Tuesday’s meet-
ing of the Society for the Ad—
vancement 0!? Management. Mr.
’I‘rembly, an. experienced indus
trial engineer, and a member of
the firm of Bang and Associates
was the guest of the group. The
tropic of his; discussion wan, “A
Survey of Personnel Manage—
ment.”

Now Method Dllscribod

In his very informative manner
Mr. 'l‘rembly told of some of the
newest methods of dealing with
vital problems of management.
He emphasized the importance of
keeping the worker content in his
assigned duties.

It is a known fact that the
happiest worker is the most efil-
cicnt producer. When hit-“l tasks
are geared to his intelligence, his
interest is less likely to lag and
cause him to do his job unsatis»
factor-fly.

Elohim Worlmrs’ ll‘roblema

Mr. Trem‘bly told of various
methods oi? searching out the
worker’s problems. He told of
the method of securing informal
tion through a questionnaire dis»
tributed widely among plant
workers. Such widespread din»
lrlbution is carried out to prevent
the identity of particular em~
ployees from being revealed by a
process of elimination. The sec-
ond method used by personnel
men to seek out the worker’s prob-
lems is through the informal in~
tervlew. In using this method
the personnel man must; be able
to secure the complete confidence
and trust of the worker.

As part of his discussion Mr.
'l‘rembly told of tho eilect of the
accelerated national defense pro‘
gram on personnel requirements.
He spoke of the ever increasing
need for trained industrial rela-
tions men to fill new positions and
to make up for vacancies caused
by men leaving the field.
